galanis has given it along with a whole host of witnesses. have thousands of documents and pages of legals and stuff like that. i wanted to give this information. >> no one questioned any of your pacts. no one brought a single piece of evidence that even for a moment discredited any of the truthful testimony that you've given us? >> no they did not. >> i yield back. >> gentleman yields back. that concludes our questions. again, i want to thank the witnesses. we are going to close now. and i will yield to the ranking member for a brief closing statement. >> great and i will take an extra 32 seconds as mr. gates did. well, and while we're on mr. gates, who seemed to be upset about a couple of different things. one is fraud that trump in a civil case owes 154 million unless that's gone up with interest. he's having a hard time coming up with that. but i'm sure mr. gates will help him to pay for donald trump criminal lawyers or civil lawyers. that's a criminal choice. he's also upset about china. well if you check out the democrats report white h

galanis to help with some dots that have not yet been connected. mr. galanis, you're serving for 16 years among other things that have been said today. defrauding a tribal nation and specifically a tribal nation which is why you're testifying from a prison today. but i would like to ask you, mr. galanis, have you had an attorney representing you before this committee that you retained last december and that attorney's name is mr. mark coletta. is that correct? >> correct. >> and when you first testified before this committee in a taped interview, you were actually stopped by mr. pallotta from answering just a simple question about how you met him and who exactly was paying your legal fees. now, i want to make sure that the american people understand exactly who mr. pallotta is because he is in fact a former lawyer to donald trump who served in the administration in the office of management and budget and was at the center of the ukrainian pressure campaign for which donald trump was impeached. and, in fact, mr. pallotta was trump's chief lawyer when he

galanis? >> about eight years . >> and you offered to tell the ncc about hunter biden's company and they rejected your offer, didn't they? >> that's correct. >> why do you think they rejected that offer? >> your time has expired, but please answer the question, mr. galanis. >> all i can tell you is what counsel said to me . counselor indicated to me he had never seen a prosecution reject information, particularly information that could have corroborated my verbal statements. >> thank you. my time has expired. >> very good. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i am here today once again to focus on the real issues in our community instead of this partisan circus. let me say that influence peddling is absolutely a very serious issue. full stop. but we all know the truth. donald trump is the and essential influence peddler in chief. despite this, for well over a year now, house republicans have spent dozens of hours of committee time hearing testimony from nearly 20 witnesses on their baseless, increasing

galanis? if we can jump right into another biden-chinese deal made while joe biden was in office, a deal i think you described in your interview as a quid pro quo, were the chinese sent millions in exchange for a post bp job for president biden. can you tell me what was burnham? >> burden was an 85-year-old financial services company in new york that owned and was a security dealer. relative to the chinese, it was an unimportant, small player. i think the scale of $1.5 billion to a $200 billion chinese company. >> so what was hunter biden's interest in working with them knowing that was the situation? >> i think hunter biden was already working with them along with harvest. and describing some of hunter's emails that i have provided to the committee, he described activity with bhr. his other focus will be the activities between harvest directly and permit them directly in combination. so in his own words in writing, those were to be his only priority and working with the chinese. >> did you al

galanis have not changed their stories. mr. bobulinski and mr. galanis did not ask for this hearing but they showed up for it because they have nothing to hide. i also invited hunter biden to this hearing. in part due to his own request that he be allowed to provide transparency and testimony before the american people. or at least he did request this hearing. then he sat for a deposition with the oversight and judiciary committees. now he is nowhere to be found. mr. bobulinski, mr. galanis, and others have implicated joe biden in the biden family business. hunter biden denies his role in the biden family business. this is a material discrepancy among witnesses in the highest order. i attempted to solve this problem by getting the witnesses in the same room together to straighten out any misunderstandings. it should be clear to the american people that hunter biden's word is just as valuable as the fake services he was selling. this committee will not play games or belittle the institution of congress by allowing hunter biden to call the shots ab

galanis. the minority witness, our witness, lev parnas, s a piercing light on what is really taking place here. mr. parnas has reason to know. he too used to be a maga sycophant peddling lies and disinformation to sameer joe biden. today he joins a long line of self exiled from trumpworld who could no longer stomach all the corruption and deceit. people like cassidy hutchinson, people like michael cohen, sarah matthews, alyssa griffin, general james mattis, the chair of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley, general john kelly, now vice president mike pence, refuses to endorse for president the man he served with. but we do have loyal sycophants still in the room. one day i look forward to hearing their testimony about how they got sunk into this religious cult. mr. parnas wrote chairman comber and me a remarkable letter on july 23, 2023. this is the first time i am meeting him today. he was rudy giuliani's right- hand man. is globetrotting language interpreter in the mission to manufacturer u

galanis. >> my name is jason galanis. during the years 2014-15 our business included the acquisition of 85-year-old wall street firm the 1 1/2 billion dollar surviving division. our objective was to build and diverse platform anchored by the wall street brand together with a political name, biden. our goal is hunter, devon archer and me was to make millions. the business was the family name and access to his father, vice president joe biden. in 2014 we believed the burden enterprise would be significantly enhanced by forming partnership with harvest fund management, a $300 billion chinese financial service company closely connected with the communist party. this effort was led by hunter biden's contract of henry zhao. he was interested in this partnership because of the game changing of the biden family including joe biden who was to be a member of the harvest theme folks ice presidency. byler provided email august 23rd drafted for hunter biden that reflects the understanding and states michael, he's also remind henry zha

galanis? >> there is no doubt that would be the intent of the call and the objective. >> it follows the model, the statement you all agree to. said, forget it. write it, regretted. this would not put in writing, this was a phone call on the speaker. there is no writing about this. that was how the business operated. is that correct? >> yes. >> i yield back. >> the gentleman yield back. the chair now recognizes mr. lynch from massachusetts for five minutes. >> thank you. i want to make an observation here. i have been on this committee, investigating committee for over 20 years. as an attorney before that, i have sufficient training and experience to say that with high confidence, when you review the entire record of evidence of these hearings going back over a year, you have actually provided more evidence to impeach donald trump for third time than you have in laying a glove on president biden. we keep hearing about the biden family. when you hear someone say the biden family, that is transla

galanis.d you offer to provide information on hunter biden and devon archer back in 2006 into prosecutors and the sec and what happened there? >> yes. specifically on that. and also the same thing to the exchange commission. were told to quash that interest. i understood that to be in order to determine i yield back. >> the chairman's time has expired. recognize mr. goldman for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i only have five minutes mr. bobulinkski i'm going to try to move quickly i would appreciate if you answer the question. you testified joe biden was involved in your business venture and hunter biden. i want to drill down on the crux of what your testimony is. the suit business venture you are referring to correct? >> i'm referring to what? >> any business you do with the biden's. >> might reference are the holdings llc owned 50% of that. >> rachel. a knight holding was a 50% that was on the american side of that deal, right? >> 50% the biden side of it. he's not an american. >>

also responding a 3rd member of the war cabinet and is reopened against feedback. galani said galani speaks the truth, that it is the leadership's responsibility to do the right thing for the country at all costs. now again, this is all really showing deepening divisions among members of the work cabinet at a very critical time. at a time when more critics of nets and yahoo are stating that he has not expressed any clear plan for how gaza should be governed once the war is over in a so called day after scenario. we know that the americans have been frustrated by this, and i've also suggested that nothing yahoo would try to formulate a plan for how gaza should be governed once the war is over. but also we've seen more and more on named members of the military establishment, but members of the military establishment, nonetheless, being quoted throughout these really media landscape and is really media outlets expressing frustration about the fact they don't think enough as being done to come up with a plan for a post worst scenario in gaza. also, members of the military establishment n

it came out after that, after that press conference from galani and said that there will be essentially nothing done when it comes to governance in guys in selecting who would govern it until how much was defeated. and mohammed to as pressure grows within his own government, more and more protests is coming out on the streets as more bodies come back from browser. so that's right. then tonight another prime example of sat in tel aviv where this is the weekly demonstration. it's been happening for months now. we're told there are thousands of people out on the streets. of course, we can't be there because we're not allowed to report a israel anymore. i myself wasn't telling me, but one of those demonstrations just 2 weeks ago. things thousands of not just anti government demonstrators were calling on net from yahoo to resign because they don't believe that he is doing his utmost to enter into a ceasefire and bring back those captains from god. but also relatives of those captives still being held in guys. and what we've seen over the course of the past few months is 2 different protest m

earlier i spoke with new to the fall galani from w as present service, and i also house shopping loose and yours has been to right is for the capitol region support. there's a, it's a, it's a shock. they have announced that this of racy and others mark system in the bay of serving the people of all people on board are among high ranking officials, including east aso, by john provinces and foreign minister. and we'd have to let you know, and he was most patriots for denying killing of processors in one protest after that this off to, you know, my so i mean the, so for many, this was such a good news. now while the happens next. so under article $131.00 of your constitution, 1st vice president mohammed will there be temporarily sume races, duties of 50 supreme leaders at football and according to the law and consul must organize a new presidential election. but in 50 days, in my opinion, this won't be a major challenge for the regime and won't just take this long to focus foreign or domestic policies at, let's not forget that the disruptive decisions are sets, wind supreme be there, and

2 is really officials back to him. finally icpc for a prosecutor is seeking warrants against now galani a put on twitter. israel is fighting a just war against a brutal terrorist organizations from us. even in facing a cynical enemy is real, abide by international humanitarian law and maintains professional and moral standards. we're fighting for the hostages. we're fighting for our lives. we're fighting for our future very much in line with what we've heard from many other is really officials over the course of the past 24 hours. you have from the top down, you had nothing yahoo saying that he rejected with the eyes. he was saying with disgust, saying that it was hypocritical, that it was outrages and disgusting. then you also have people from across the political spectrum, which is very interesting because this is the time of the political division, or at least it had been up until yesterday in israel. and you had people like the uh, the opposition leader is really yeah. your la pete as well as been against who was a member of the work happen as well as the president isaac. first of a

also responding a 3rd member of the war cabinet and is reopened against feedback. galani said galani speaks the truth, that it is the leadership's responsibility to do the right thing for the country at all costs. now again, this is all really showing deepening divisions among members of the work cabinet at a very critical time. at a time when more critics of netanyahu are stating that he has not expressed any clear plan for how gaza should be governed once the war is over, in a so called day after scenario. we know that the americans have been frustrated by this. and i've also suggested that netanyahu try to formulate a plan for how gaza should be governed once the war is over. but also we've seen more and more on named the members of the military establishment, but members of the military establishment. nonetheless, being quoted throughout these really media landscape and is really media outlets expressing frustration about the fact they don't think enough as being done to come up with a plan for a post worst scenario in gaza. also, members of the military establishment, unnamed me

i see, see auctions against netanyahu, and galani a mazda is pushed back to the possible the rest of its leaders and saves the entire leadership of these well on. this military conduct, seeing the operation in gaza, should be issued. warrens is where the officials are being accused of crimes against humanity by starving civilians as a method of wolf or while the mouse is wide scale taking of hostages on october. the 7th constitutes they will run for the city and national initiative, positive and stuff about duties. so he's washington supposedly as well as a credible stand this. and i hope that dakota does not the sky owe you and does not show, and you call a miss under american pressure, which is absolutely hypocritical. but on one side, there will come the court decisions against pressure and now the other condemned and the code for issuing these decisions about the 0. that shows how much they and i took the states as for the total and complete the started because the american lead the student grab the what it should look i've gotten. so there was and they think that the court of ju

is rarely security control against as comments coming just days after defense administer your web galani called on nothing yahoo to oppose is really military rule and gaza and to make clear his post war plans. while the demonstrations continue to gather momentum and while more members of his work cabinet publicly criticized the prime minister, it seems nothing. yeah. who is feeling the most amount of pressure from the far right wing plank of this coalition. people like national security minister, it's more been give year and finance minister bets a little smart rich, who for months have threatened to collapse his government if nothing. yeah. who does he commit to going full force in philadelphia? how much i'm doing my 0. i'm not the, the, on the, in the democratic republic of congo says it has stopped done, attempting to involving local foreign fights as a group of all his men attack, the home of the deputy prime minister in the capital contessa the assailants ford with his gods in the neighborhood near the presidential palace 2 police officers, and one of the attack is what killed in th

mr. galani said that he would oppose any plan for long term military rule of the region. he also urged netanyahu to draw up a post word vision and israel's best interest. the far right judge, politician garetsville there is, it says that he's reached a preliminary deal with 3 other right wing party leaders to form a cabinet. now despite coming in 1st and national elections, 6 months ago builders, if not expected to become prime minister of the netherlands. but his party for freedom will be the main force and the coalition government, bye. for now to the country of georgia were thousands, have once again turned out on the streets of the capital to believe in protest against the new foreign influence law. now western countries have joined the opposition political leaders in georgia in denouncing the legislation that targets media and other groups with significant for and funding. young people are especially angry respirator, 17 year old on the staff here is ready to rally for george's future. with the respirator on her head, in case police fire to your gas, so she's out to

and that's in yahoo came out with his own statement, essentially publicly rebuking galani and stating that how much will not rule gaza. and that there will not be any other type of rule for guys a chosen until how mass is defeated. essentially saying they're not going to do anything about this now. they're certainly not going to honor the request of the defense minister. and then after that, you had another member of the work cabinet. a 3rd member of the war cabinet been against former israeli defense minister, and he has publicly backed globbed saying that more needs to be done to ensure that israel will do the right thing when it comes to a post worst scenario. and that go on to stating the correct thing. so this really just goes to show how much division there is in the work cabinet at such a critical time. and as i mentioned before, more and more military members of the military establishment have been quoted in an unnamed fashion, but quoted none the less and is really media outlets the past several days, stating that they are worried that because israel is not adhering to the am

announcement from career called the icbc prosecutor as far as seeking warrants against nets and yahoo and galani. and let me just walk you through some of the reactions that we've heard. of course you heard a moment ago there from been against, but we've also heard from now you're located. he's the opposition leader and israel . he tweeted the icpc arrest warrants or a complete moral failure. we cannot accept the outrages comparison between us and yahoo and send war between the leaders of israel and the leaders of from us. we also got a statement from the is really president issac hurts are in which he said the announcement of the prosecutor at the icpc is beyond outrages. it shows the extent to which the international judicial system is in danger of collapsing. we will not forget our hostages, whose safer turn should be the main concern of the international community. we expect all leaders in the free world to condemn outright this step and firmly reject it. and beyond that, we've also heard from a lot of officials who were quoted unnamed officials, but quoted nonetheless, throughout these real

ultimately issued, and i expect that they will be all these people have to do with that in yahoo and galani and also the i'm us figures and they just have to simply avoid traveling to these, to these countries. now it's also unclear whether these, all of these countries will be on board, whether they will choose to follow the law, which does say they have to arrest these individuals. so the united states, for instance, which does little to conceal it's contempt for international law in general. and the ice you see, and which is not a party to the i c sense of the rooms that are also not a party to the rome statute. so they may, you know, sort of, uh, they may allow netanyahu to travel or go out to travel to the united states and give them diplomatic immunity that's been, that's been suggested under. i've also been threats coming out of the united states by republican, a members of congress saying that they will sanction members of the i, c. c. there have been suggestions that a bill should be passed. and so this is something that we have to keep our eye on. i think going forward. something

also against you'll have galani, the defense minister, and there are risk lawrence also outs for senior most vigorous including the hamas leader. yeah, yes. in war that's the uh, how much leader in the gaza strip. yes. in war and well, how many days understood to be his 2nd in command? that is what we know at the moment, there is going to be a lot to break down on this. we will bring up our correspondence and break down all the implications of these arrest warrants. for now though, let's take a quick look at what we know happens next in iranian politics, in the context off of course of the ring and president's death and the helicopter crash. the country's constitution says in the event of death, absence or illness for more than 2 months of the president, the 1st vice president, with the approval of the supreme leader shall assume the presidential powers a council that includes the speaker of parliament, chief justice and the 1st vice president will then be required to hold a new election within a maximum of 50 days. so i mean, it has on, he has an independent journalist who joins us fro

and the size of the stuff supplies for the remaining functioning, hospitals are critically low galani baptist hospital and gaza city received a lifeline on monday. the delivery of medicines, health supplies of fuel from the world health organization. israel has been blocking life saving supplies from reaching health facilities across the street in the countries reporting from the lock. so hospitalized central gaza were few isn't desperately short supply. there were supposed to be $200.00 trucks, including 4 fuel trucks to enter the gaza strip till this point. nothing entered the gaza strip. we're trying, we're trying all day to follow up what happens to these trucks. and there's no, any confirmed efforts that they made a step into garza, but uh we just talked to uh, the house officials in o x, a hospice that they said they did not receive any you so far. and it, they are going through with this, a very catastrophe situation. if this continues, they have to receive fuel as soon as possible, especially tomorrow. let me show you right now how the situation is. first, this is the entrance

you're off, go on to knock on october 7th, the day that galani announced the siege on, on gauze at the total blockade. no, no, food, no fuel, no water island came out and said, we have, this is a quote. he said we have to prevent others from giving assistance to gaza. he was talking about underwear. he went on to say the people should be told they have 2 choices and this is a quote to stay and to starve or to leave. so since october 7th, this has been a game plan very well executed. we have to say by israel to deliberately starve the population they've been going at on or well and other agencies with some success or as was described in the, in the press conference. we know about the attack on, on, on our, our workers, almost 200 of them have been, have been killed. and then obviously the, the, the false allegations against honor why that they participated in october 7th. right. so what's, what's left to a lot of countries pulling their funding, didn't it? did countries pulled their funding very hastily, even david cameron came out and said the decision was made too hastily for months.

benjamin netanyahu, another member of the work cabinet after that, coming out and publicly rebuking galani and saying that how much will not rule. and that essentially nothing can be done until the war is over. and until how much is defeated and then you have a 3rd member of the war cabinet began to was a former defense minister in israel, who publicly backed kalonde. and essentially said that the prime minister should take the advice of the, of the, of the military leader of the defense minister. so this, again, just going to show that these, these arguments are only getting worse. we've known for some time the members of the military establishment in israel are getting increasingly worried about how netanyahu is handling the war effort. we've seen quotes from a named military official and israel throughout the is really media landscape over the course of the past week. expressing a lot of concern, concerned about the fact that people are worried that that's an yeah. who perhaps is only trying to prolong the war so that he can stay in power longer. also concerned about the fact that polit

going to be dog by not going to see what happens when following your earlier train of thought on galani and is really official saying we're, we're moving into rock, but we have no choice but to do it because how much is left, that's no choice, right? this has been their messaging. and then this morning is really military ordered more than a 100000 pallets and used to leave parts of rough. uh, i've been wondering, is that the ultimate bargaining tool for them to say we're serious? look, we're moving and we're starting with this little slice of rough uh, 100000 people. there are one and a half 1000000 people. you know, 1400000 to go. if you don't stop this now. you know, i've been saying for the past 15 years, options 0 as we go from one, nick, when diplomatic, the buckles to another over different fronts of whether it's he won and egypt, syria, turkey. and so also for in the end of the day, negotiations slash diplomacy and reflection of the balance of power or the inbox. they have not the production, not they the, the end product of some collaborative people trying to make some clever te
